Company Updates

Have you seen Sixt's latest Lip Syncing Super Bowl ad featured in Adweek? Well if you haven't, you need to check it out!

Some of the worst lip-reading/syncing on TV came via late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner . Granted, it was the back of Big Stein's head, but it was OK because this was Seinfeld, and the character was hilariously voiced by one Larry David.

Mission

We rent cars. Our roots are German. Ambition and precisionhave been the keys to our growth as we strive to make the world mobile. We bring pride to the Sixt family by ensuring that their values remain engrained in our company’s culture and by supplying luxury cars at economy prices to every customer. Sixt doesn’t practice “You get what you pay for” when it comes to our customers or employees—we give you more, as in BMW or Mercedes-Benz more. Since our expansion to the United States, we’ve also expanded our capacity to provide fulfilling careers for our diverse associates.

Values

Everyone has ‘em. If not, you should get some. They’ve been an important part of upholding our culture, companywide for over 100 years.

In the words of Erich Sixt, “Good is not good if better is expected.”

Sixt believes in the power of innovation. We don't need a crystal ball to recognize the customer and employee needs of tomorrow. We have the Sixt sense, which has enabled us to thrive for over a century.

We value flexibility. Some of us are yogis, but that’s not the type of flexibility we’re referring to. We mean being able to adapt to different cities, states and countries – as well as new technologies.

Cultural diversity: We hire people from all over the world. We’re all bright minds working towards the same goals. You’ll be surrounded by friendly, welcoming peers. Because your success makes them look good too!

Boring is not acceptable. We prefer excitement, every single day. So sure, we’ll work hard as hell. But we’ll have fun doing it.

You expect it, and so do our customers. Premium service is our standard.

We strongly encourage an entrepreneurial spirit. We love people who take action and show us how much horsepower they’ve got!

So where does the international component come in?

Our top performers have the opportunity to travel abroad, training in one of our established European branches. We told you it was competitive…

Must see/do: In Berlin, it’s a Fat Tire Bike ride. Tour the whole city for 4 hours and learn the history. Climb to the top of the “Chick on the Stick” aka Golden Else. It’s a huge climb, so bring water. But the view is amazing. You can see 4 major parts of the city, and the detail of the art on the Golden Else is out of this world!

Favorite part about current position: Exploring new cities, seeing different Sixt locations. This really helped me see how things can be done differently to have a great branch. Also, taking advice and learning from my supervisors and other branch managers has been very helpful.

Favorite part about current position: I’m 22 and I run a business. If you want a change in your life, this position will bring it!

Great, collaborative environment that provides a unique opportunity for professionals to start or further develop their career. At Sixt, I have been exposed to projects far beyond that of my peers from similar backgrounds and have been trusted with responsibilities that are befitting of someone with way more experience. Sixt USA has the combination of a start up approach, mixed with the backing of a massive, successful organization in Germany. Couldn't recommend this company more!

Cons

Those who work hard and perform are rewarded quickly. There is tremendous growth opportunity here. This is not the place to coast by.
